At 25 years old, full of youthful energy and with a promising UFC career ahead of him, Edmen Shahbazyan is ready to showcase his raw talent in this upcoming fight. Born in Glendale, California, with Armenian heritage, this golden boy is coming off a knockout victory against Congolese fighter Dalcha Lungiambula.
Now, Shahbazyan returns to the UFC Apex, a place where he struggled to secure victories during the pandemic.

Known as “Fluffy” in the MMA world, he defeated French-Canadian Marc-André Barriault on September 17, 2022, in a fight where the fighter with Latin roots won by submission with a triangle choke.
